My dear Sir

     You had hardly left the lawn before I recollected that I had not signed my name to the check I gave you on the Bank of Potomack for $619.79 as “executor of George Washington.” This is to authorize you to make that addition to the check & you will please deliver this note to the Cashier as your authority for so doing. yrs affectly

Bush. Washington
